Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs Salmon fillets
1 pint Cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Lemon, sliced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Brush the oil mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives around the salmon on the baking sheet.
Arrange the lemon slices over the salmon and vegetables.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the hot salmon and vegetables.
Serve immediately and enjoy your coastal meal.
Notes
You can add thinly sliced red onion or bell peppers to the sheet pan for extra vegetables.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a sprinkle of dried dill along with the oregano.
This dish pairs well with a side of quinoa or crusty bread to soak up the pan juices.
